Qwen
Alibaba's open-weight family, with a coder model in nearly every size.
Qwen is Alibaba's model family and the largest open-weight line there is — dozens of sizes from a few billion parameters up to the Max models, most of them published so you can run them yourself. For vibe coders the draw is the Qwen Coder models: strong at code for the price, cheap to call through a provider, and small enough at the low end to run on your own machine. The flagship Max models take text, images and video and go up to a million tokens of context.
